Critically accepted as SoOkayItsAverage, it is a rare example of a modern British [[TheCaper heist film]], involving a convoluted scheme and a deliciously evil bad guy.

* [[DoublingForLondon Doubling For Manchester]]: Set in Manchester, most of the film was shot in Liverpool, forty miles away. Leads to [[HilarityEnsues hilarity]]/rage from locals, since (a) the towns look very different, especially their skylines, and (b) there is a centuries-old rivalry between them.
